“For undermining confidence in the NATO alliance and its stability”: Twitter permanently blocked 100 Russian-linked accounts

Twitter announced the blocking of 100 accounts associated with Russia. They were permanently banned for “violating platform manipulation policy.” Deleted accounts have been divided into two categories.

Our first investigation found and removed a network of 69 fake accounts that could be securely linked to Russian state entities. Some of these messages supplemented stories that involved the Russian government, while other parts of the network focused on undermining confidence in the NATO alliance and its stability.

As part of our second investigation in the region, we removed 31 accounts from two networks that show signs of affiliation with the Internet Research Agency (IRA) and entities associated with the Russian government. These accounts targeted the United States and the European Union.

In addition, Twitter has deleted accounts associated with the governments of Iran and Armenia. Iranian accounts have been deleted based on information provided by the FBI. These accounts tried to destabilize the U.S. during the first presidential debate in the 2020 election campaign.

Armenian accounts were removed due to abusive posts against Azerbaijan and its statesmen.
